Pierre close to being traded to Cubs

[yankeessuck013]

WSCR 670 in Chicago is reporting that the Cubs are close to acquiring Juan Pierre from the Marlins for three prospects.

 

One would be left-hander Renyel Pinto. According to the report, center fielder Felix Pie wouldn't be involved. Another expendable reliever probably would be. Roberto Novoa or Jermaine Van Buren could help the Marlins.

I read that earlier. Wow, Cubbies are getting everyone. Best part about this trade is that they dont lose Felix Pie.

damn go Cubs. so far one week into the offseason have acquired what will be their setup man to lead to closer ryan dempster in the forms of Scott Eyre and Bob Howry. And now Juan Pierre

Isn''t Pierre a free agent?

[ksushi]

Nope, hes got a year left on his deal. Next look for Lo Duca to get traded.

I really wanted the Sox to make a run at Pierre considering Damon is so greedy.

[ARod2212]

Pierre isn't that great.

I think he's really good, just has had an off year. He can still be a great addition to any team.

You don't want Pierre, his carrer OBP is terrible, it's like .315 or something. I was kind of hoping the Yankees would get him.

 

EDIT: Career OBP is .355 that's pretty bad for a lead off man.

Do you have a way to determine his OBP from 2003-on. His days in Colorado werent that great, he didnt really establish himself until he got traded to Florida. So maybe thats why, but I could better asess if I saw his obp from 2003-2005

The formula is fairly straightforward, and you can get the variable values needed on just about any sports related website.

 

OBP = (H + BB + HBP)/(AB + BB + HBP + SF)

I'm glad you came back to edit that. Johnny Damon's career OBP is .353 though, and I think he's a pretty good leadoff hitter. .353 isn't that good, but it isn't the only indicator of a players value. That being said, stay away from Pierre.

ESPN Radio said the Yanks made a trade to get Pierre for Melky Cabrera but then came back on later to say it was really the Cubs. Anyways, the trade is officially complete now.

Good Thing. I do NOT want Melky traded.

 

I wouldnt mind having Pierre though.

 

I dont think the trade is official yet, it's the weekend. A holiday weekend at that. I doubt Bud is going to go into the office on a Sunday to sign off on a trade like this. He's never done it before. And besides, that site isn't the most reliable in the world. They said that the Mets and Wagner agreed on a deal like last week.
